[WT-support] Locator Square from DX CLuster - Possible Bug?

[Matthew Jeffery]

Larry,

Thanks for the reply, now that I've spent a little longer looking at spots 
from the cluster I've noticed that there isn't a standard format and both 
"MyLocator<PropMode>HisLocator" and "HisLocator<PropMode>MyLocator" are 
used.

Actually, I never found a clear written rule regarding the format of
such strings, to ensure which locator belongs to the spotted station (vs
which locator is the spotter one).

If I had the assurance the "MyLocator<PropMode>HisLocator" format is
always used, I could enhance the locator extraction.
